<p><span style="line-height: 1.5;">Where, you may ask, has been director Terry Gilliam of late? He’s had a couple of misfires that never finished production, particularly his <em>Don Quixote</em> film. But he’s back with a new film titled&nbsp;</span><em><a href="http://www.thezerotheorem-movie.com/" style="line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank"><strong>The Zero Theorem</strong></a></em><span style="line-height: 1.5;">, which takes him back into the realm of existential science fiction. In fact, he refers to this film as the third leg of a trilogy, which started with <em>Brazil</em> and continued with <em>The Twelve Monkeys</em>.</span></p><p>Fri, 03 Oct 2014 05:00:00 +0000Larry Thomas32033 at http://wvxu.orgMovie Review: The Zero TheoremThe British Arrows Awards, celebrating the best in TV ads, showing October 4 & 5http://wvxu.org/post/british-arrows-awards-celebrating-best-tv-ads-showing-october-4-5
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5;">It’s one of my favorite movie times of the year as </span><strong style="line-height: 1.5;">Cincinnati World Cinema</strong><span style="line-height: 1.5;"> brings you the latest edition of the British Arrow Award winning commercials. That’s right…commercials. These little mini-movies, created for television and cinema use in the UK that offer up more creativity and imagination than what we usually get on this side of the pond. After enduring yet another seemingly endless onslaught of droning prescription medicine plugs and snarky, repulsive political whines, it’s a real treat to actually enjoy watching spots that can be funny, whimsical, or even frightening without insulting your intelligence.</span></p><p>Fri, 26 Sep 2014 05:00:10 +0000Larry Thomas31829 at http://wvxu.orgThe British Arrows Awards, celebrating the best in TV ads, showing October 4 & 5Coming Soon: The Cincinnati Film Festivalhttp://wvxu.org/post/coming-soon-cincinnati-film-festival

<p><span style="line-height: 1.5;">Every so often a film is released that causes both critics and audiences to become besotted with praise. Such films are compared to </span><em style="line-height: 1.5;">Citizen Kane</em><span style="line-height: 1.5;">, and are predicted to sweep the Oscars. The last time such a furor erupted it was for Paul Thomas Anderson’s </span><em style="line-height: 1.5;">The Master</em><span style="line-height: 1.5;"> starring Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams, and Joaquin Phoenix. I hated it.</span></p><p>Fri, 08 Aug 2014 05:00:15 +0000Larry Thomas30096 at http://wvxu.orgMovie Review: BoyhoodMovie & TV star Lee Grant talks about her just-released memoirhttp://wvxu.org/post/movie-tv-star-lee-grant-talks-about-her-just-released-memoir
